OZONE PARK, N.Y. - Trainer Todd Pletcher was up from south Florida to enjoy the unseasonably mild New York weather, spend some time with his family, and check on his New York string.
The star of Pletcher’s New York stable is Caixa Eletronica, who won Sunday’s Rise Jim Stakes impressively. Pletcher indicated Wednesday that Caixa Eletronica would be pointed to the $200,000 General George at Laurel Park on Feb. 20 rather than the Toboggan here on Feb. 4. Pletcher is expected to run Calibrachoa in the Toboggan, a race Calibrachoa horse won last year.
“It’s a way to split the two of them up,” said Pletcher, who trains both horses for Mike Repole.
